RR is one of, if not the biggest enigma for me.
We are supposed to believe that RR/Mueller are tied together and with their known history they certainly seem to represent the D.C. swamp well.
Trumps DOJ was of course "Republican" - but one, according to the D.C. swamp, isn't like the others. Senate confirmation votes show this clearly.
Sessions 52-47
Barr - 54-45
RR - 94-6
The confirmation votes show he was clearly trusted by the D.C. swamp on both sides because they knew not only his past but his wife's as well. It is interesting to remember who voted Nay against RR confirmation:
Blumenthal (D-CT)
Masto (D-NV)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Booker (D-NJ)
Harris (D-CA)
Warren (D-MA)
All pretty much for the same reason - RR wouldn't fully commit to a special prosecutor or if he did, he would make them completely independent. Gillibrand voted Nay because she was constantly touting her voting record against Trump cabinet nominations publicly - voting Yea only two times out of 29. One of those two btw was for Nikki Haley as UN ambassador
Trump nominated Sessions for AG November 2016
Trump nominated RR to deputy AG on 2/1/17 - less than two weeks after his inauguration.
Sessions recuses himself on 3/2/17
RR 94-6 confirmation vote 4/25/17
Comey fired 5/9/17 by Trump with public blessing from RR
Mueller and Rosenstein have meeting with Trump on 5/16/17 - media portrayed the 4 hour meeting as Trump trying to get Mueller to be FBI director, even though we all knew that Mueller was ineligible because he had already served 12 combined years - the last two as a special appointment by Obama as soon as he took office.
No sh*t, the next fvcking day - 5/17/17, Rosenstein appoints Mueller Special Prosecutor. Most, if not all ITT remember that sh*t.
And we can't forget about McCabe telling anyone who would listen that RR was trying to wear a wire when he was meeting with Trump to validate their 25th amendment removal BS.
RR also signed the last extension for the phony FISA warrant against the Trump campaign. Was he complicit in that fvckery or is he right by saying he was just an affiant singing off on it because he had "presumed" that all Woods Procedures were followed making all the statements in the FISA extension true? Of course once the sh*t starting BG hitting the fan, RR said publicly that he wouldn't have signed off on it if he knew what fvckery was actually going on.
Folks, I'm going to stop rambling because this could go on and on but timelines and votes are telling to me.
@Viking could be right about RR being a "double agent". He has done things to seemingly help both sides. Was he Trumps Trojan horse? Maybe, maybe not - that's what makes him an enigma to me. Time will tell, future will prove past.
